The Dashboard provides the user access to reports, alerts, and tools such as wire feeds, news services, video, and other information sources. It allows the user a great deal of freedom; while at the same time provides immediate notification of out of parameter conditions. Because of the intuitive design, very limited business user training is required.


Pre-built Analytics allow the business user to interact with information from many sources, providing the information that is most often requested by Mangers and Analysts. Over 300 pre-built analytics allow the rapid development of a solution, with additional reports and performance indicators added as needed.

Many organizations have spent a great deal of time and effort developing specific high value reports. These reports may also be integrated into the Dashboard, providing the business user a single point of access.

Detect & Alerts are powerful tools that run in the background to monitor rules-based scenarios. When a specified condition is met, an alert is activated. These alerts are often triggered by the performance indicators, but may also trigger from any scenario defined by a specific set of business rules.

• Sets of Detect & Alerts are pre-built to jump-start the solution.

• Alerts take specific action such as notifying a business user via the Dashboard, through Email, or via a Wireless.

• The business user may forward alerts to others via Email or Wireless by a simple point and click operation.

Wireless Access allows business users to access reports and alerts via wireless devices. Notification may be via a cellular phone, Palm Pilot, or other PDA device.

• Specialized report formats suitable for wireless are pre-built from the analytical reports, and will be expanded for your customer needs.

• Alert notifications are provided directly from the solution back-end, or may be forwarded by a business user.
